1 edit | netstat question When querying "netstat -an" one of my UDP returns is:
UDP 0.0.0.0:445 *:*
where 0.0.0.0:445 is the local address:port
and *:* is the foreign address.
I've not been able to find out what *.* refers to.
thanks,

If this is Windows, dollars to donuts this is the Windows Shares listener -- »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TC···_numbers

It's UDP (listening) port and as such, it's connectionless (comparing to TCP, which has two connection ends). UDP packet could be sent to any address. Thus, the "Foreign Address" is always unknown (in other words, it could be any), which is indicated here as *.*.

Yes it is. I don't have "shares" enabled.
The "exe" is Windows "System."

Thanks for that info!
